1. Cálculo e determinação experimental da energia de ligação excitônica em poços quânticos simples e duplos de AlGaAs/GaAs
Este trabalho objetiva o cálculo e a determinação experimental da energia de ligação excitônica em poços quânticos simples e duplos. Foram estudadas duas amostras, as quais possuem, no total, um poço quântico simples e três poços quânticos duplos de Al0.25Ga0.75As/GaAs com diferentes espessuras de barreira central. Nos poços duplos, o material

2. Frenkel-exciton-polaritons in organic microcavities
We study organic microcavities in the strong coupling regime. The cavity exciton-polariton dispersion relations and quantum states are derived in using a microscopic theory. We consider the two cases of anisotropic organic crystals with one and two molecules per unit cell. In general, the cavity exciton-polaritons are a coherent superposition of both cavity

3. Propriedades de pontos quanticos de InP/GaAs / Structural and optical properties of InP/GaAs type II quantum dots
Neste trabalho estudamos as propriedade estruturais e ópticas de pontos quânticos auto-organizados de InP crescidos sobre o substrato de GaAs. Esta estrutura apresenta o alinhamento de bandas tipo-II na interface, confinando o elétron no ponto quântico, enquanto o buraco mantém-se na barreira, próximo à interface devido à interação coulombiana atra

4. Excitation energy transfer in chlorosomes of green bacteria: theoretical and experimental studies.
A theory of excitation energy transfer within the chlorosomal antennae of green bacteria has been developed for an exciton model of aggregation of bacteriochlorophyll (BChl) c (d or e). This model of six exciton-coupled BChl chains with low packing density, approximating that in vivo, and interchain distances of approximately 2 nm was generated to yield the

5. Profluorescent protease substrates: intramolecular dimers described by the exciton model.
Xanthene dyes are known to form dimers with spectral characteristics that have been interpreted in terms of exciton theory. A unique aspect of H-type dimers is the fluorescence quenching that accompanies their formation. Using the principles of exciton theory as a guide, a series of protease substrates was synthesized with a xanthene dye on each side of the

6. Ultrafast absorption difference spectra of the Fenna-Matthews-Olson protein at 19 K: experiment and simulations.
We describe simulations of absorption difference spectra in strongly coupled photosynthetic antennas. In the presence of large resonance couplings, distinctive features arise from excited-state absorption transitions between one- and two-exciton levels. We first outline the theory for the heterodimer and for the general N-pigment system, and we demonstrate t

7. Is there an excitonic interaction or antenna system in bacteriorhodopsin?
The presence of a biphasic circular dichroism (CD) observed in the visible absorption spectrum of retinal in bacteriorhodopsin (bR) has been believed for many years to be due to excitonic-type interaction within the trimeric structure of the retinal in the protein membrane. In the present work, we present data and discuss previous observations that strongly

8. Exciton interactions in reaction centers of the photosynthetic bacterium Rhodopseudomonas viridis probed by optical triplet-minus-singlet polarization spectroscopy at 1.2 K monitored through absorbance-detected magnetic resonance
Linear dichroic triplet-minus-singlet [LD-(T - S)] spectra of isolated reaction centers of the photosynthetic bacterium Rhodopseudomonas viridis have been measured at 1.2 K with the linear dichroic absorbance-detected magnetic resonance (LD-ADMR) technique for two mutually perpendicular directions of the preferred axis. The LD-(T - S) spectra have been calib

9. Exciton interaction in molecular beacons: a sensitive sensor for short range modifications of the nucleic acid structure
Molecular beacons are hairpin-shaped, single-stranded oligonucleotides constituting sensitive fluorescent DNA probes widely used to report the presence of specific nucleic acids. In its closed form the stem of the hairpin holds the fluorophore covalently attached to one end, close to the quencher, which is covalently attached to the other end. Here we r

10. Calculations of the circular dichroism of adenosine derivatives constrained in the syn form
The rotational strengths of the four longer wavelength transitions, B2u, B1u, and the two E1u, of adenosine derivatives constrained in the syn form have been investigated theoretically and experimentally. The theory combines a complete neglect of differential overlap version S (CNDO/S) description of the base with a generalized bond exciton method by means o

11. Invisible liposomes: Refractive index matching with sucrose enables flow dichroism assessment of peptide orientation in lipid vesicle membrane
Valuable information on protein–membrane organization may in principle be obtained from polarized-light absorption (linear dichroism, LD) measurement on shear-aligned lipid vesicle bilayers as model membranes. However, attempts to probe LD in the UV wavelength region (<250 nm) have so far failed because of strong polarized light scattering from the vesicle

12. Comparative study of optical absorption and circular dichroism of bacteriochlorophyll oligomers in Triton X-100, the antenna pigment B850, and the primary donor P-860 of photosynthetic bacteria indicates that all are similar dimers of bacteriochlorophyll a
Dimers of bacteriochlorophyll a (Bchla) with optical absorption maximum at 853 nm and a nonconservative circular dichroism spectrum are formed in a solution of formamide/water that contains micelles of Triton X-100. The apparent equilibrium constant and the corresponding Gibbs energy change for the Bchl self-organization are 4.9 × 106 M-1 and -9.2 kcal/mol,
